Thysanotus (Greek, fringed and ear, alluding to the 3 inner perianth-segms. which are fringed). Liliaceae. Perennials, suitable for the greenhouse. Rhizomes sometimes very short, sometimes stout and horizontal: lvs. radical, grass-like, flat or terete: scapes leafless, now erect and simple or paniculate above, now much branched or in one species twining: fls. sometimes densely fascicled, with 1 terminal fascicle or few at the top of the scape, sometimes variously panicled; perianth withering, persistent, segms. distinct, outer narrow, margin entire, inner with a broad colored margin, beautifully fimbriate-ciliate; stamens 6; ovary sessile or short-stipitate, 3-celled: caps. globose or ovoid.—About 21 species, Austral., one of which is also found in the Philippines and China. The difference in the inner and outer stamens and the absence of the latter in some species may not always be as constant as it would appear at first sight. The following species have been occasionally cult. They thrive in sandy loam and may be increased by offsets.
T. dichotomus, R. Br. (T. intricatus, Lindl. T. tenuis, Lindl., not Endl.). Rhizome thick; sts. very variable, sometimes erect, branched, 1-2 ft. high, rarely almost twining: lvs. radical, few, short: fls. 1 or 2, rarely 3, in terminal umbels; perianth-segms. purple; stamens 6.. B.R. 24:50; 26:4. J.F. 4:402.—T. junceus. R. Br. Rhizome thick: sts. slender, loosely branched, erect or flexuous. 1-2 ft. high: lvs. radical, few, narrow-linear, short: fls. 1-3, in terminal umbels and sometimes 1 or 2 sessile along the lower branches; perianth-segms. purple, 5-6 lines long; stamens 6. B.M. 2351. B.R 656.—T. multiflorus, R. Br. Rootstock densely tufted: lvs. all radical, densely tufted, erect, rigid, much shorter than the scape: scapes simple, 6-18 in. high, bearing a single terminal, many-fld. umbel or rarely a second one lower down: perianth-segms. purple, the outer very acute, inner rather shorter; stamens 3. Var. prolifer, Hort. (T. proliferus, Lindl.), is a luxuriant form, with a large terminal umbel, frequently a second rather lower down: the lvs. sometimes exceeding the scape. B.R. 24:8. F.S. 18:1911.—T. tuberosus, R. Br. (T. elatior, R. Br. T. isantherus, Lindl., not R. Br.). Roots swollen into tubers: lvs. radical, not numerous, narrow-linear, as long as the scape which is erect, rigid, terete and 6-12 in. (or more) high, branching into a loose, irregularly dichotomous panicle, each branch bearing a terminal 1-4-fld. umbel and sometimes a lateral sessile one: perianth purple, sometimes 6-7 lines long; stamens 6. B.R. 655.
